Fillet Weld Test Coupon Dimensions

The document provides guidelines for fillet welds in plate, including: 1) Requirements for the size of fillet welds based on the thickness of the plates being welded. 2) For macro-test specimens of fillet welds, the weld shall show fusion at the root but not necessarily beyond, and be free of cracks, with the heat-affected zone also free of cracks. 3) Guidelines for performance qualification tests of fillet welds in plate, including minimum bend distances and dimensions, and that the maximum fillet size must be equal to the thickness of the base metal.
